Clifton is the closest and most popular surfing beach from Hobart. The camera is located on the surf lifesaving tower towards the western end of the beach. Good view to west, south and east of beach, shoreline and waves, distance view across foredune to eastern end of 2km long beach. It faces S-SE into Storm Bay exposing it to all southerly swell. Waves average 1-1.5m and maintain a moderately steep beach fronted by a continuous bar which is cut by rips every 200m during and following high waves, with permanent rips against the rocks at each end. The beach type is LTT/TBR.
